Resale value

[leinsterrugby]

Right the time has come to sell my GS. I have a 04 bike with 23k miles on the lock. The bike isn't in mint condition - big dent on the silver panel on the side of the fuel tank, scrapped cyclinder head (didn't buy guards ) and a few marks on the panniers.

On the plus side it is fully services, comes with full luggage, tank bank, and Autocom Pro Duo.

Any ideas on what a fair price (rough guide) is for it??

There is a valuation section , but here you go

Original Price £9,275
Independent Dealer £6,670
Private Good £6,185
Private Poor £5,155
Part Exchange £5,995


Yours is Irish reg i assume so + Euro700.00 .

This is according to Parkers ,

Part Exchange £5,995

Part Exchange for an R1200GS in good condition with 12K miles is currently £5,800. For that one, I suspect you'd get offered not much more than £5K.

Yes but like it or lump it the bikes are more expensive here in Dublin (tax) both new & secondhand.

***Part Exchange £5,995***

Williams Manchester offered me a LOT less than that last week, and mine is 05 and ( Blush ) only 15000 miles top bike too. FSH and loads of bits onit.
So i will not being going to them again.

OH! no top box thou.

Shit I wanted €10k

Paid €15k in May 07 for it

I take it you put all the dents etc on it? You must of done to pay 15K euros in May 07 for it or did the shop have big windows on it?

You could easily DIY fix the tank panel dent and cover in an hour for under £200. - If it adds £800-1000 to the valuation it's got to be worth a go, unless the condition overall is poor.

If it's a blue one ( the fast ones that is )
Cheaper option is to buy my Baglux tank cover
